-Since when was he standing there?
-When was he summoned?
-Where was he hiding originally?
The audience’s gazes shifted and focused on Tang-E. However, the players at the scene didn’t turn their attention to Tang-E as they were busy responding to the immediate situation. Tang-E poured out most of his available magic power to create something amazing.
It was a small tornado. He made something that could be called a natural disaster. A strong wind was blowing in a 20-meter radius around Hyeonu. This definitely wasn’t a mere breeze. Inside the large ring of wind, the blue-white crystals were coming together.
“Get out of range!” Somebody yelled.
The players who heard the words reflexively turned their heads to look around. They wanted to find a way to escape, but there was no corner to escape to.
“Help me!”
“Uwahh!”
People shouted as they were swept away by an ice storm. Their bodies were scratched by small transparent crystals, but all they could do was scream pathetically. Some players who saw this scene raised their voices even more: “Go over there! You have to go inside to live!”
There was an endless ice storm behind them. This meant there was only one way out—the center where Alley Leader stood. That serene point was like the eye of a storm, and it was occupied by Alley Leader. Thanks to one magic spell used by Tang-E, pandemonium broke out onto the battlefield. There would be a bloody fight to take the place where Hyeonu stood.
‘Tang-E did it correctly.’ Hyeonu smiled as he saw that Tang-E’s magic lived up to his expectations. Handing Tang-E the necklace turned out to be a rather rewarding thing. In fact, it was very satisfying.
‘He did better than I thought.’
Hyeonu had been expecting to see a few magic blows at best or the powerful magic Tang-E had shown a few times before.
‘However, he made a stage like this.’
His pet had been born with a natural streaming talent. This time, Tang-E had created a gorgeous stage—a stage for himself.
“Come, come. Come if you want to live!” Hyeonu’s voice echoed through the mountain.

At almost the same time that Area Proclamation and One Who Yearns dissipated, the ice storm created by Tang-E also disappeared. The place where it occurred was covered with human corpses and blood. More blood soared through the air, and occasionally severed arms flew as well.
The battle entered a brief lull.
Hyeonu placed the bloodstained Mysterious Sky Sword onto his shoulder. “Do you regret it yet? Do you regret provoking me? So why follow and chase after me?”
His words were very blatant. This was a statement that properly trampled on the pride of his opponents. It hurt the pride of those who had nothing to do with the situation, let alone those involved.
-Yes, why bother chasing?
-Still, it is great devotion to go all the way to the East Continent to kill Alley Leader.
-If they did other things with such devotion, then their arena ranking would be higher.
Nevertheless, the viewers watching Hyeonu’s streaming were different. They jumped on Hyeonu’s words and spoke even more vicious ones.
“I don’t regret it. I will target you again.” Bi Yoon bit his lip. He seemed to be full of anger, and the fire in his eyes shone strangely. It was a poisonous gaze.
“Yes, keep coming. I’m already ready,” Hyeonu stated.
‘I can’t hate him since he is creating content for me,’ he thought and laughed loudly. His expression couldn’t be seen, but it could be guessed based on his laughter. The corners of his mouth curved up and then down; he was clearly laughing gleefully.
“Time is up. I will finish it now,” Hyeonu said.
He stepped toward Bi Yoon, moving slowly. There were no Mysterious Sky Steps. The conclusion of Hyeonu’s big picture wasn’t designed to be such a thrilling move.
‘The most important thing is the ending.’
It had been a long time since he threw away his seriousness. No, it was like this from the beginning. The opponents were just a device for Hyeonu’s stream—a device to evoke a dramatic impression. In Hyeonu’s eyes, it was just to this extent, even though the players might seem fierce or dangerous to others.
‘I have to swing my sword...’ Bi Yoon watched as Alley Leader slowly walked toward him, and he tried to give strength to his sword-wielding hand.
However, there was no strength in his hand. This was inside Arena, yet Bi Yoon had the illusion that his palms were sweating, and he failed to lift the sword properly. It wasn’t until Alley Leader neared that someone came out on Bi Yoon’s behalf.
“Wake up, Bi Yoon!” It was Bachu, one of the five masters of Five Stars.
Bachu raised his main weapon, the single-edged sword, and pointed it at Alley Leader. Holding the single-edged sword with both hands, Bachu never took his eyes off Alley Leader. From every step to every breath, he observed everything about Alley Leader, but there was nothing to analyze. Alley Leader was just walking casually with blood dripping from the sword on his shoulders.
‘Why isn’t my body moving?’ Bachu thought as he let Alley Leader pass by. The moment Alley Leader moved past Bachu, the latter’s body collapsed. Bachu’s head was separated from his body. After that, Hyeonu took a few more steps to stand before Bi Yoon. Bi Yoon was still trying to lift his sword, but it fell out of his hand and onto the ground.
“Next time, gather more people okay?” Hyeonu patted the Mysterious Sky Sword against Bi Yoon’s shoulders. Then Hyeonu neatly swung the Mysterious Sky Sword, and Bi Yoon’s head flew through the air.

“I’ll go ahead with Tang-E’s eating broadcast as promised.”
In front of Hyeonu was a roaring fire. Tang-E had brought the wood and set it alight.
